I just imagine that you can also drill a locking hole for the disconnected
position. In that way you won't risk loosing the camera or lens in an EOS
accident. Accidents do happen, and more when you 'help' them.
Regarding to mechanical stability, the part that has to be removed is quite small
as to introduce a less stable connection between lens and camera.
